We report a technique based on patient-controlled stimulation to restore analgesia after development of tolerance to deep brain stimulation (DBS). A 45-year-old female with neurogenic pain after cerebellar stroke underwent DBS implantation in the right ventralis caudalis (VC) thalamus with excellent stimulus-controlled analgesia for 29 months, followed by development of tolerance and loss of analgesia. Analgesia was restored when a stimulation module that allowed patient-controlled stimulation was implanted.
